making special japanese curry

Testing, testing.

Welcome to

testing.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello. The girl in your thumbnail looks

like your ex. No, she's still my

girlfriend. We just haven't seen each

other for 3 years. She doesn't get

to decide if we're girlfriend

and boyfriend or not. That's up to me to

decide, thank you very much.

Ahem. Okay, I'm back. I'm still

slightly sick, but my voice— I think my

voice is back to normal pretty much. Do

you think my voice still sounds kind of

weird? I'm still coughing, but not as much

as I was.

Doing a slightly different stream setup

today. I think it's working pretty well so

far, but I'm a bit nervous about it

because I'm new to this.

Okay, everything looks good.

Where's my phone? Maybe I put my phone

here.

Is Mila pregnant? They've been saying that

she's pregnant. I don't know if they're

just trolling. I don't know how they would

know, because does anyone know what Mila's

social media is? Because I'm pretty sure

she said it's private. She had a pretty

big Instagram, didn't she? Had like a

couple thousand followers. So I'm deleting

it, but then I can't

find it. Maybe she blocked me. Oh,

Chihiro has deleted her Instagram account.

Can anyone find Chihiro's Instagram?

Because when I search it up, nothing comes

up. It used to come up top of my search.

I keep searching it. Now I can't find

it at all, and I think no one else can

find it. So it looks like we won, guys.

Managed to get Chihiro off of the

internet. It would happen.

Oh, thanks. How much gay

something you watch recently? Not much.

I'm about to just Traditional Japanese

stuff. J-ladies.

That's usually what I always go to when I

don't know what else to look up, is type

in Japanese MILF. Is the knife in

reference to the baby? No, I'm gonna do

some cooking. Make my— the

future mother of my child

special dinner. So I made, you know,

beef and kimchi into it, and then you wrap

it up and eat it. I made her that, and

then she started vomiting after we

finished eating. Not straight after, but

like a couple hours later when we were

going to bed, she started vomiting. And

then she vomited the next day as well.

She woke up and I could hear her going in

the toilet. And I asked her what's wrong.

She said she doesn't know. She said she

thinks it was the food. It can't have been

the food because I'm fine. I wasn't

vomiting. She said she

didn't know what that leaf was because

they put in this leaf. It's called a

perilla leaf.

It's this leaf. Let me open it.

Have you ever seen this leaf before?

I bet most of you don't know what this

leaf is because it's pretty unusual to

eat. In Western cooking. It's something

that mainly only Korean people eat, and

usually what they do is they soak it in

soya sauce and they make like a pickled

leaf. Smells kind of minty but not very

powerful, and it's really good with pork

and oily food. And she's never seen this

before and she was kind of scared. I

soaked it in soya sauce and made my own

version of it. You're really supposed to

soak it overnight with a bunch of other

things like chili I forgot what else, but

it's mainly soy sauce.

So I made her this and she thinks this is

what was making her vomit, which is silly.

It doesn't make any sense. Didn't make me

vomit. You can eat it raw as well, just

like this. Just tastes minty.

It's really good. You should try this.

It's called a perilla leaf. Soak it

in some soy sauce, leave it overnight,

and then eat it with something that's a

bit fatty or oily like pork, pork belly.

It's actually kind of— I

don't know, it tastes kind of salty as

well even though it's not seasoned right

now. Stop impregnating

all the women. I swear, if I could

actually impregnate women, I would have

children with like 4 different women. The

amount of girlfriends I had that just let

me do it without protection— how

many were there? There was the chlamydia

girlfriend, single mother girlfriend.

Chihiro was very careful though. She made

sure she was on the pill before he stopped

using rubber duckies. And then there was

Mila. I don't know why Mila was okay with

me just finishing inside of her.

She was like 27, 28. I don't think she

wanted kids yet, even though that's a

pretty good age to start having kids. But

Mila never seemed like the kind of person

to want to have kids because she's too

free-spirited and everything. But she was

okay with me just pumping, so I would have

kids with like 4 different women if I

actually had effective sperm. Imagine

being remembered as the chlamydia

girlfriend. Yeah, that's like the only

thing that is of significance about her

was that she gave me chlamydia. What else

is there? Like, what else do you know

about the chlamydia girlfriend apart from

the fact that she had chlamydia and gave

it to me? She was just like very

normal Japanese woman, kind of crazy.

She wasn't too crazy, she was just a bit

weird. Not exactly your normal Japanese

woman.

But apart from the fact she gave me

chlamydia, there wasn't really anything

interesting about her. What can I think

of? She worked in a bakery and she was

interested in baking. And, um,

Ban Chosen, he keeps bullying me and

saying that's it really.

Who?

Chosen?

Well, I have to sort that out later.

Busy now.

Does text-to-speech work? Um,

that's it really.

Oh, it seems to play twice. It's coming

out my laptop Speaker as well. Oh,

that's fine. I've got a bad

cough still. Yourself a little— hey, Joe

Goldberg from that Netflix show called

You. The only difference is I don't murder

anyone. Aren't I just like him? I go

around different countries, I go from

woman to woman, accidentally end up

breaking their hearts through no fault of

my own. I seem to, you know,

upset a lot of women, even though I try my

best to be a good boyfriend and

everything. I mean, Joe falls in love,

but he somehow ends up cheating anyway,

and then he ends up murdering people, and

he ends up murdering every girl he's with.

I don't do the murdering bit,

but I think I do a lot of other things he

does, like trying to keep my identity a

secret. Trying to win the women's hearts.

The audio is cutting out. Let me check.

You know, upset a lot of women, even

though I try my best to be a good

boyfriend and everything. I mean,

John falls in love.

He somehow ends up cheating

anyway, and then he ends up.

No, sounds fine to me.

The audio already, uh, trying to— sounds

fine.

Oh, thanks, cool dude. Asian or white

girl? White girls? I'm not

sure. I think Asian girls have nicer

faces, but white girls definitely have

better bodies, obviously when

they're not overweight. I think white

women have nice hips. Usually white women

have nice wide hips,

but then they have— I think we watched

this show, this movie last night It was an

Italian movie and it had all women in it.

There was like 7 women and one of them was

a murderer and they were trying to find

out who murdered the guy in the house.

And I swear they all looked like men

dressed up as women.

They had like very strong big noses,

square jawlines, and they're all women.

I don't know if Italian women are just

very masculine looking, but they look like

ladyboys.

And one of them was a murderer, and they

were trying to find out who murdered the

guy in the house. And I swear they all

look like men dressed up as women. I don't

know why he's saying the audio is

stuttering. It's completely fine when I

play it. What do you mean? They had

like very strong big noses, square

jawlines, and they're all women. I don't

know if Italian women are just very

masculine looking. It's not cutting off at

all. What are you talking about?

What movie? I forgot the name.

Hmm, it's basically just like 6 or 7

Italian women in a house trying to figure

out who murdered someone,

and they all look like men. They all look

like ladyboys. I noticed Italian women

have very strong noses. Even Marzia,

PewDiePie's wife, she's got like very

square jaw.

Oh my God, this cough's not getting much

better. I mean, it's gotten a bit better,

but it's taking ages. I think it's been

nearly 2 weeks since I got sick.

Trying to fall asleep is really tough as

well because I keep coughing. It gets

really bad when I go to bed. It's usually

not too bad during the day.

Didn't your girlfriend have a cough for a

few months? Yeah, it's kind of like karma.

I was moaning about how annoying her

coughing was. Now I'm the one coughing.

Now I feel bad because I'm keeping her

awake because I keep coughing. But what

can I do about it? I've taken all these

different pills. I've taken Cough

syrups and cough medicines, antibiotics,

antihistamine. I think antihistamine

works. And none of these cough remedies

actually help. I tried drinking ginger tea

or honey tea, and that just seems to make

it worse. I think sugar makes it worse

because it like makes it more inflamed.

The last time I got this kind of sickness

was last year. It took nearly a month

until it started to heal. Hopefully this

time doesn't take so long. So I'm going to

Japan soon. It'll be nice if I'm not

coughing on the plane.

Would they actually kick you off the plane

if you were coughing a lot? So it

seems like you've got COVID, doesn't it?

It's called Seven Women and a Murder.

Yeah, that's probably why I can't remember

the titles. It's not a very original

title. It was so boring, I felt like

I was falling asleep during it.

How do you get a SIM in Japan? I got a

pocket Wi-Fi, should be delivered to the

airport soon. I'm going to pick it up at

the airport. It's a bit worrying because I

actually arrive at the airport kind of

late and the post office in the airport

closes at I think 5 PM, but I can get it

delivered to a convenience store which is

open 24/7, I guess.

There's no comments displayed on the

screen. Yeah, I don't think I've enabled

And I can also get an eSIM. So when I

arrive in Japan, or the day before, I'm

gonna order an eSIM which can be activated

straight away. eSIMs are pretty good. You

don't have to have an actual physical SIM,

so 2 connections should be pretty good. I

still can't decide if I should stream as

soon as I land or if I should wait until

the next day. I'm thinking of streaming

the next day because I think it'll be kind

of boring when I land, so it'll just be me

on a train trying to get to the apartment,

and then I'll be kind of tired So I

probably want to just go to bed. I think

I'd arrive at the apartment maybe 10 PM.

Damn,

only 61 people in here. Yeah, I know.

What the hell happened? Usually I have

like 120.

Maybe it's just a slow day.

Hopefully being back in Japan will get

people to watch again. Fingers crossed.

Are people really that bored of me being

in Thailand? It's like people know that

nothing interesting is going to happen

when I'm in Thailand, so they don't even

watch anymore. Maybe people will think

something interesting will happen in

Japan.

Yeah, it's only been 19 minutes. Maybe it

picks up later.

So I think 2, 2 connections would be good.

Pocket Wi-Fi plus eSIM.

Although a 3rd connection could be useful,

I don't think it's necessary.

Maybe nothing will happen. What do you

think is going to happen when I go to

Japan? Because I've never gone to Japan

and not had anything not happen. Did that

make any sense? I've always had something

happen every time I've gone to Japan.

Probably the most uneventful Japan trip

was 2016, but even then I got my

you-know-what sucked by a guy and I

licked an Iranian girl's armpit, so that

was something.

Maybe Hong Kong Guy will meet up. Would

you find that interesting?

I don't know if the Hong Kong Guy would be

interested. Hong Kong Guy seems like a

clout chaser. Have you seen him in some of

the other streamers' chats? I think he

would not be interested anymore now that

my channel is not really popular.

These new streamers in Japan just show

themselves sleeping. Yeah, I've been

watching a lot of streamers in Japan and

they really don't do anything. Rob CD just

rides his bike endlessly. That Suspenders

guy, most of the time he's just sleeping

or on a train or just filming himself

talking to people on the street. I've seen

some other streamers do like bicycle stuff

or just sitting around doing nothing.

People say I'm boring. I mean, everyone's

boring. Name one streamer who has like

crazy drama happening all the time.

Probably just Ice and Suspenders.

Yeah, I'm so desperate. I want Hong Kong

guy back just to see if I can get the

viewers watching again. I'd do anything,

even Chihiro. If Chihiro wants to do a

stream together, that'd be so good. I

don't even care if we have sex or not.

It's like nothing I can— nothing I do

interests people anymore.

Are you drunk? No, I'm just still a bit

Are you gonna marry Chihiro? Marry her

again? My girlfriend talked

to me last night about marriage and stuff.

She said she wants to know my plan. She

said she wants to have kids, but she says

I've got a problem. Me, not her. She says

that there's something wrong with me

because there's no pregnancy yet.

It is kind of weird though. We've been

sleeping together for nearly 6 months and

there's no kids. There's definitely

something wrong with me. No more streams.

I want video content. Well, I'd make video

content if I was actually doing anything

like going on another trip. I don't think

I'm going to go traveling with my

girlfriend again before I leave. She said

she wants to go to Phuket. But I really

don't want to. Plus I'm sick. Plus the

danger of going on a plane again could

expose me. I don't want to get on a plane

weeks before I have to go on a plane to

Japan. I really hate flying. It's so

tiring. And what's so good

about Phuket anyway? Is Phuket any good?

It's just like a beach, isn't it? It's

just like an island with the sea.

It's a good thing she can't have a baby

from you, but it'll be interesting,

wouldn't it? Imagine if I actually got a

baby. I think I'd just leave. I don't

really want to be tied down with a kid. I

want to go to Japan and like relive my

life living in Japan for nostalgia

Phuket is

just a massive tourist trap with some nice

beaches, bunch of restaurants, but not

much else. What are we gonna do, just like

go to the beach, get sunburnt?

If you think something is wrong, go and

get a test. Well, I don't think I need a

test. I I think it's pretty obvious

something's wrong if I don't have a baby.

I'm not sad I can't have a baby. That

would be so annoying. I'd have so many

babies right now.

Babies. Turkish girl would have my baby

too. There'll be babies everywhere.

I feel like a lot of people would come

back if you had a kid, actually. Yeah,

so do I. I think people would be so

triggered at the idea of me having a baby,

and then I'd do everything— I'd do

everything wrong on purpose to piss them

off. I'd act dumb and be like,

oh, I gave my kid a Pepsi and

now he's sick. I don't understand.

Playing dumb seems to really trigger

people, especially back then. Like, oh, I

just met my ex-girlfriend. My wife's

upset. I don't understand. And then people

would get upset and they'll be like trying

to explain to me why my wife's upset, as

if I don't know why.

I have to do a birthday stream next week.

It's my birthday soon, gonna be 34.

Let me get my water.

How's it like to have sex?

Well, it is the most magical physical

experience you can have as a man.

It was getting pretty boring recently. It

got good again. I don't know why. I think

something happened to my body. In the mood

good the last few times we did it.

What are you doing for your birthday?

She thinks my birthday is like a week

later. I didn't tell her my real birthday.

It's kind of silly though. I was worried

that if I told her my real birthday,

she could Google it, and then that stupid

Famous Birthdays website pops up. I used

to be on famousbirthdays.com. I think

they— I did message remove me. It found my

message and then removed. It's a very— if

you searched it up, it would come up with

those famous birthdays websites.

Wouldn't it? The audio is

lagging. What do you mean?

Testing.

The audio is lagging. What do you mean?

Testing. The stream is choppy.

How come when I look at it myself it's

completely fine? I don't understand.

Testing. The stream is choppy.

How come when I look at it myself it's

completely fine?

Hmm, every time you look it fixes.

Well, I don't know what to do to fix that.

144p? It's not 144p, what are you talking

about?

Well, I don't know, it's 720p.

144p? It's not 144p. What are

you talking about?

Oh, I don't know, it's 720p.

Whenever I check my stream, it's

completely fine. I don't know what you're

It's 720p. Whenever I check my

stream, it's completely fine. I think you

guys are just trolling. I don't see

anything choppy.

We're not seeing anything special. Well,

not yet. Wait until I get out my

ingredients.

Do a clap test. Do you think the audio is

not in sync? Special. Well, not yet.

Wait until I get out my ingredients.

Do a clap test. Do you think the audio is

not in sync? Special. Well, not yet. It's

in sync.

Hmm, not a great sign of people

complaining.

I am doing kind of a weird stream setup

today with the

GoPro. This is a GoPro, by the way,

and we're using the GoPro app to stream.

So that might be why it's not super great,

but I don't know how else to do the GoPro

stream without the GoPro app.

Oh look, it says stream health max.

It's not super great,

but I don't know how else to do the GoPro

stream without the GoPro app.

Jesus Christ, my channel really fell off.

Damn,

viewers, like 20 viewers.

Jesus Christ,

is it because it's laggy or choppy?

People Clicking off.

Jesus Christ.

Oh yeah, see, because it's laggy or

choppy, people clicking off.

Jesus Christ. Okay,

I see what you mean now. See, because it's

laggy or choppy, people I

just got here. Is it clickbait? No, I'm

having a baby. My girlfriend's pregnant.

Well, I don't know what to do about it.

This kind of sucks. I wasn't expecting

this.

I could switch to my phone instead

of the GoPro and see if it's better.

Damn it. I could

switch to my phone instead of the GoPro

and see if it's better.

Damn it.

Oh yeah, it's cutting out.

Oh yeah,

it's cutting

out. Damn,

perfectly.

Hmm.

Okay, so my plan is I'm gonna switch to

the phone, but this is just gonna go

black. The screen's gonna go black, so

don't leave. Should take

like 5 seconds.

Hopefully. Okay, so my plan is I'm gonna

switch to the phone, but it's

just gonna go black. The screen's gonna go

black, so don't leave.

Should take like— I think, I think the

problem is because the GoPro app doesn't

let you choose the bitrate, it's streaming

at like max bitrate, which is too much for

my signal. See, it's like trying to stream

at 4,000 bitrate, which is kind of high.

So I'm going to change my phone, which I

can Lower the bitrate on.

Okay, give seconds. I'm gonna

be end the stream. Stream is gonna like

end the stream on the GoPro, but this

stream will carry on being black for a few

seconds. Okay, so.

Disabling.

Testing,

testing.

Hello? Testing,

testing. All the stupid

overlays. There's too many overlays now.

Wait, I can get rid of them.

Easy. There's too many overlays now.

Wait, I can get rid of it. Wow, that was

really easy to switch. So now I'm

on my phone streaming

at 2,000 bitrate, which should be better.

Stupid GoPro.

Well, the resolution will be worse because

I'm streaming at half the bitrate, but

then it should be smooth now. Hopefully.

Fingers crossed. 2000 bitrate, which

should be better.

Well, the resolution will be worse because

I'm streaming at half the bitrate, but

then it should be smooth now. Hopefully.

I need to, um, get my phone stand,

uh,

because currently my phone stand is

on the GoPro stand.

Is it

okay now? Because it's currently my phone

stand. It's on the

GoPro stand. Oh my God, it's cutting

out. Damn it. Is it okay now?

Because it's currently my phone stand.

Okay, I don't know.

I've never had this problem. Before.

Why would

it do this?

I did a lot of testing last week and this

never happened.

I don't see why it would be the internet

because my internet's always been fine

for streaming.

This is so frustrating.

So it's not the GoPro, something with

the connection.

What's it like now?

What's it like now?

It's like it's fine sometimes and then it

just randomly— it's just the audio,

isn't it? It's not the video. I don't

really know because I'm not doing much on

video, but I'm wondering if the video

is also chopping. If I just keep moving my

fingers, it's like it's fine sometimes and

then it just randomly It's just

the audio, isn't it? It's not the video.

I don't really know because I'm not doing

much on video, but I'm wondering if the

video is also choppy. I just keep moving

my fingers. The video is also choppy.

It's fine sometimes and then it's just

randomly— it's just the audio,

isn't it? It's not the video. I don't

really know because I'm not doing much on

video, but I'm wondering if The

video is also choppy.

If I move the phone— yeah, now it seems

fine.

I think because now I guess the internet's

more stable.

What should I do? Should I give up and

just like go back to how I usually stream?

People are not gonna stick around if it

keeps going wrong. What should I do?

Should I give up and just like go back to

how I usually stream?

It's so disappointing.

And the reason why I've set it up this way

is because I was hoping that I could

use it in Japan and then take the stream

outside.

It seems like it's not very reliable.

This way is because I was hoping Yeah,

I know I'm live on Twitch as well,

but I don't think that would be making it

I'll get the phone stand, be right back.

What a

fail.

This tripod is not good.

The legs are too short.

Yeah, Cooking with Daniel. Today we have a

leaf.

Why is live streaming so problematic?

Oh, 40 viewers. Jesus,

people don't want to stick around just

because there's like a tiny— my God,

maybe I should change the title or

Can you sing the Cooking with Daniel song?

Hello, welcome back to a new episode of

Cooking with Daniel. Today I'm going to

show you how to make the perfect leaf.

First, cut it horizontally into strips

like this.

I feel like streaming never used to be

this cumbersome back then, you know, back

in 2018 and '19. But the more, the more

things I add, the more it goes wrong.

Like, the more software and widgets and

stuff I try and add to it, the worse it

gets. I remember back then I would just

press go live on YouTube and everything

was fine.

Maybe keeping things simple is the easiest

I don't want to bore you, but I wanted to

talk about the server and stuff like that.

Maybe I'll do it later. This leaf's pretty

good, actually.

So is it okay now?

I don't want to bore you, but I wanted to

talk about stuff like that. It's a bit

One of the problems is my apartment is

very high up,

so my signal would be a lot stronger if I

was just downstairs. On the ground.

But when you're like 25 floors up in the

air, you don't get the best signal.

I'm hoping Japan will be better because

I'll be low,

low down on the ground.

Yeah, I didn't really want to move here

because it's so high up, but the rent and

the building's just so nice.

It was even worse in this other apartment.

Could barely get 4G. Sometimes it would

drop down to 3G.

Do an apartment tour, maybe when I've

left. I still

can't decide if I'm gonna dump my

girlfriend or not. It seems

like a waste, you know, to dump a

perfectly good girlfriend for not very

many reasons.

If the views don't start going back up

when I'm in Japan again, I'll just think,

well, I might as well go back to Thailand.

Yeah, there's 5G, but I disable it.

Because it uses so much battery and

the speed increase for what you get in

return is not really that much. Cut it

with passion, Daniel. It's not really

worth that much. These men on TikTok who

finger fruits and slap down.

Oh, thanks, Rosetta.

How do you cut it with passion?

Passion Daniel. Sorry, what?

Why is the thumbnail Mila?

Hmm, good question. Well, I thought

it would make people click, but I guess I

was wrong. What the hell is going to make

people click?

What time would you say your views were at

the highest?

Probably,

hmm, probably around the time I got

married. I swear I could do a live stream

back then and get like 800 viewers.

Just reveal of hero. I swear we had like

1,000 viewers in the chat.

Oh well, guess it don't last forever.

There's a Pornhub girl, Anne Eden, that

looks a bit like Mila. Imagine if that was

actually Mila though.

Imagine she actually starts doing porn.

That would be wild.

Leaf mukbang. This is

pretty good leaf.

Times are rough, can't afford actual food.

What are you doing with the leaf? I'm just

Your dad's passing. A lot of views.

Yeah, I think I had like 600 or 700

Most viewers I had was 1,200, I think,

when I went to Germany and then I raged,

incel rage, at that German girl who

ditched me.

Which girlfriend is pregnant? Um,

maybe all of them.

I thought my girlfriend is pregnant

because she started vomiting, but she got

her period yesterday, so I guess not.

She's really weird when she's on her

period. She starts crying and then she'll

start laughing. She said crying feels

good. Then she'll

start asking me questions about my plans

for the future, and I just say I don't

know. My plan is I'm gonna

go to Japan and

get a Japanese girlfriend and do some

streaming, but I can't tell her that. I

say my plan is I'm gonna go to Japan, try

and get a new visa for Thailand, then I'll

If I'm really bored in Japan, I probably

will just come back to Thailand. I'd

probably get bored of Japan after like a

few weeks. I'd walk around a bit, suck in

the nostalgia,

maybe get a hooker, do some

like Chihiro clickbait. Day 1

in Japan, getting back with my ex-wife. I

think I clickbait too hard now, people

don't believe it anymore. At least back

then it was kind of believable. But I

don't know what else to do without

No, the girlfriend doesn't say my

girlfriend is pregnant. The title says I

think my girlfriend is pregnant.

After Japan to Korea again? No, even if I

ditched the girlfriend, I would still come

back to Thailand. So I think Thailand is

the second, my second favorite country

I would definitely choose Thailand over

Korea. I never

really liked Korea. Korea was just like

the closest thing to Japan that was

nearby, but I think

Bangkok is a much nicer city than Korea.

Plus, it's way cheaper. It's just

annoying, you know? In an ideal world,

I'd stay in Japan for 6 months and then

come back to my girlfriend,

but I can't do that. She would definitely

dump me if I asked her to wait 6 months.

So I'm gonna have to choose. Like, do I

want to stay in Japan for 6 months that

badly, or do I just let the relationship

run its course? Eventually she's gonna

find out about my channel. Maybe it's best

to end things before she does.

I should definitely— do you think she

would dump me if she heard me talking

about Dumping her.

Try Philippines. No, Philippines looks

I don't know what to do.

If I dump her, then it's like I've lost a

good girlfriend. For what? What am I

getting in exchange? I could probably get

a new Japanese girlfriend eventually, but

it will take a while. But then if I don't

dump her, it's like the chance— the risk

of her finding my YouTube channel gets

higher and higher. She's gonna wonder,

how am I making money? I don't do

We'll be together for like a year and I

haven't done any work. She's gonna start

thinking, where's he getting his money

from?

Can't keep saying, oh, I'm doing

investing.

Gym member mentioned it. Does it feel good

just to have the habit? Will you go to

the gym in Japan? Yeah, it feels good.

To see your body change over time,

and it feels good to be able to lift

heavier and heavier things.

And yeah, mentally it feels good as well

because you feel like you're doing

something productive. And I definitely

want to go to the gym in Japan. I did 6

reps, 6 bicep curls on the 15 kg dumbbell

yesterday. Just a couple months ago, I

couldn't even lift the thing. I had to

like use 2 hands to lift it off the rack,

and now I can bicep curl the damn thing 6

I don't know if 15 kg is impressive or

not. I feel like a normal man,

average man, could lift it anyway without—

even if they don't go to the gym.

Because I remember this time in the guest

house, I had a friend, this Australian

guy. This was back in 2016,

and he was a pretty big guy, like 6 foot

tall, normal build, but he wasn't ripped

or anything. He didn't— he obviously

didn't go to the gym, had a bit of a

belly, his arms looked kind of soft. He

definitely didn't look muscular, but he

was like a normal guy, 6 foot, pretty big.

And I'm pretty sure there was a 15 kg

dumbbell in the guest house. There was

this big dumbbell in the guest house. I

can't remember now if it was like 12 kg or

15 kg. I think it was 15 kg.

And I tried lifting it with my noodle

arms. I couldn't lift it. And the

Australian guy lifted it. He could do like

a couple reps. He was struggling. You

could really see him straining, but he

could do a couple reps. And I don't think

he worked out. So I think a normal guy can

just lift 15 kg without training.

I've been going to the gym since, since we

moved in here. When did we move in here?

I think it was like December.

So I've been going to the gym for like 4

months and I can lift what like a normal

guy can lift without going to the gym.

15 kg is not impressive. Yeah, I guess

I lift 20 kg without gym.

Really? You can do a bicep curl with one

arm? 20 kg?

15 kg seems so heavy to me.

Maybe I am just abnormally weak.

I'm now 53 kg weight and I'm still

underweight. I think my BMI is like 17 for

my height. I should be like 60 kg to

have a normal BMI, so I'm still

underweight. So I, I think

I still can't really stand up to like a

normal average man. I've definitely

gotten stronger, but I'm still like way

below what an average man's strength

should be.

For me, I feel like I'm ripped. My arms,

I feel like my arms are huge.

I guess they look, they look skinny to a

normal guy. For me, they feel huge. I

never had arms like this before.

Maybe in like a year's time, if I keep

going to the gym, I'll be

normal strength of a normal man.

I want to know, like, who's— who here is

like a normal built man? Who doesn't go to

the gym? Can you go to the gym and tell me

what, what can you lift as, as a normal

man who doesn't go to the gym?

Because if you say, oh, I lifted

the 15 kg and it was easy, I'd be kind of

sad because I've been training so hard

just to lift 15 kg.

Maybe I'm like strong compared to a woman,

still weak compared to a man.

Yeah, I can do 6 reps with my right arm

and then about 4 reps with with my left

arm. I could do some overhead reps too.

My girlfriend couldn't even lift it off

the ground using 2 hands.

My skin thing's coming back.

Look, the weird itchy rash thing. I put

cream on it today. I need more cream.

Bro, you're 116 pounds. Yeah, I think

most guys are like 150 pounds,

200 pounds.

I feel like I got fat since I came to

Thailand. My belly is— I, I look like I'm

pregnant. I'm the pregnant one.

I use a towel. I bring like a little hand

towel to wrap around the dumbbell.

At 5'9, you should be 180 pounds.

What? That's like 80 kg.

I just wish I could stand up against other

men and be on equal footing.

That would be so great. I hate that

feeling of like being intimidated by other

men. Just want to be able to stand on

equal footing.

How many push-ups can you do? I do about

I hate feeling like other men can push me

I ate quite a lot yesterday, but then

you'd probably think, oh, that's normal,

that's not much. I had spaghetti with the

fried katsu chicken thing, then I had

protein shake, and then for dinner I

had beef stir-fry.

I felt like it was quite a lot of food.

I made it using sukiyaki sauce, which

makes it slightly sweet, thinking my

girlfriend would like it since Thai people

like sweet food. She didn't like it. She

gave all the beef back to me.

She said it's weird. I said, what do you

mean it's weird? You put honey in my

spaghetti yesterday.

She said, uh, beef is not

supposed to be sweet. I mean, all Thai

food is sweet though. What are you talking

about?

I feel like her thoughts on what tastes

good are all back to front. Putting honey

in. Do you put honey in your spaghetti?

Don't you think that's weird? Spaghetti is

not supposed to be sweet.

Yeah, in England I got, um, this protein

shake. And it said, I think it said

like 1 cup had 1,000 calories, which can't

be true, but that's what it said. And I

was drinking cups of that banana protein

shake and I was having Huel and nothing

changed. I just shitted more,

went to the toilet more.

Eating slivers of leaf is weird. Yeah,

it's making my tongue feel weird as well.

I want to see if I can lift 17.5 kg next

time I go to the gym. That's my final

goal before going to Japan. I don't think

I have enough time to reach 20 kg. To be

able to bicep curl a 20 kg dumbbell, my

arms would have to be huge. They would

have to be way bigger than they are now,

and they already seem pretty big. But I

think I might be able to do 1 rep with

17.5 kg if I can do 6

with the 15.

Men really like talking about weight. I

think only men are impressed or interested

with weightlifting and women don't really

care. It's like women love painting their

nails and doing their hair and stuff, but

men don't really care about that. Women

just do it for themselves. Men— I think

men are interested in going to the gym not

because they think women like it, but

because it makes us feel

good as men.

I guess some women like it, but from what

I hear, most women don't like very

muscular men.

Especially Asian women. Asian women hate

muscular men. My girlfriend doesn't even

like my muscles now. She told me to

stop. She said, don't get any bigger. I

don't like big muscles.

My main goal is to be able to increase my

I'm not really doing it to impress her.

I already date her, so I don't need to do

anything to impress her. I'm doing it

because I don't really know, to be

honest. Am I doing it to impress someone?

I'm mainly doing it because I like the way

it feels and looks. I look in the mirror

and I'm like, wow, I actually built some

It feels good. To see progress.

Now that's why I hate YouTube now, is

because I don't see any progress. My

channel just dies more and more every

month. Used to average like 100 viewers,

now 75 viewers. Okay,

buddy. Okay.

Okay.

Aha, I found it.

I found the carrot.

So is the stream okay now? It's not

cutting out or anything?

Testing.

Okay, so I think the problem was Yeah,

it's the GoPro because the GoPro app has

no advanced settings. All it does is it

says what resolution do you want to stream

out, 720p or 480p. Press 720p and then it

just tries to stream at like maximum

bitrate, which my internet can't handle

obviously. So I don't know how I can make

the GoPro viable. I could use it with the

live view, then I can change the bitrate

put like a bitrate cap, but I don't want

to use a stupid live view.

Yeah, it's fine now. Good, good. I think

the reason why it's good now is because

I'm using Larix Broadcaster, which lets

you choose the bitrate to stream out, and

I put 2000, which is pretty reasonable.

So I guess the whole idea of using the

GoPro to stream is out the window.

Unless I choose 480p, then I guess it

would stream at a lower bitrate. Oh my

God, coughing is like when you,

when you start coughing, it makes you want

to cough more. You feel that tingle in

your chest. It's like when you do the

first cough, it makes you want to cough

again and again. And I found that trying

to mentally stop myself from coughing is

actually better than actually coughing.

I think the title's clickbait. No, my

girlfriend was vomiting last night, so I'm

thinking maybe she's pregnant.

Oh wow, I haven't used these potatoes such

a long time. They're sprouting something.

What is that? What happens if I just let

it sprout? What's gonna grow out of it?

Are you sick? Yeah, I'm still sick from 2

Are you sick? Yeah,

she's vomiting from the food. Food

poisoning? No, that's what she thought

it was, but I had the same food as she had

and I'm fine, so I don't see how it

could make her sick and not me. Daniel.

Oh, thanks, Rosetta.

Yes, save me.

I need your salvation.

If she's pregnant, your Japan plan

cancelled. No, means I'm definitely

running away. It actually makes things a

lot easier.

But I don't think she's going to get

pregnant. I don't know if she's even

trying though. I think as soon as we

finish loving, she goes straight to the

toilet and then she starts scooping it

out. That's not how you make babies.

You know, I was complaining last time I

streamed that the stream was so shaky. It

turns out that the wide-angle lens in

basically every modern phone doesn't even

have stabilization. I Googled so many

phones— iPhone 14, the Pixel,

the Flip, the Samsung S22, S23, they all

have the same kind of camera setup and

only one of the lenses is stabilized, and

that's the stupid main camera which is

like really zoomed in. The selfie camera

and the wide angle are not stabilized,

they just have like some kind of digital

software stabilization which is kind of

weak. But they only have— I guess because

Jesus Christ, what was that? I guess

because it takes a lot of room to put like

a stabilizing mechanism in the phone,

they've only got enough room to stabilize

one of the lenses,

and they choose the standard lens because

I think that's what they think that

everyone uses most of the time. What do

you use on your phone? Do you— I never use

a standard lens, I always use the wide

angle. Actually, no, it's not true. If I'm

just taking pictures, I guess I would use

a standard lens because it has better

quality, it blurs out the background.

But when I'm vlogging, I always use the

wide angle.

That's the frustrating thing about it.

Because when I did some testing with the

standard lens, it was actually pretty

stable, but the wide angle's got no

stabilization, and the digital

stabilization is not very effective when

you're streaming.

I need somewhere to put rubbish.

It's glycolic calloid content begins

to rise.

Eating potatoes that have sprouted can

cause you to ingest excessive amounts. Is

it good or bad?

I don't think there's room in the camera

bump to stabilize both cameras.

It would have to have like a massive

camera bump,

so it's really hard to find like The

perfect streaming device,

because I can't think of any phone that

has a stabilized wide angle. That's why I

want to use the GoPro, but I have all

these problems. If I could just get the

GoPro lens and camera system on a phone,

that'd be great.

Uh, where should I put rubbish? Let me get

a bin.

I could use this bin.

Oh, sick!

Sony action cam. What, the white one that

every streamer uses? Yeah, that's good

because it's got good stabilization, but

the GoPro's got good stabilization too.

It's just you need, you need like a live

view or something, which I have. I just

don't really want to use it. It's just

annoying having to set up.

Have you been feeding your girlfriend

sprouted potatoes? Maybe I shouldn't

give this to her. I'm gonna make curry for

dinner. It's fine,

it's only slightly sprouted. What if I eat

the sprout?

I wish someone just made like the perfect

streaming device. Phones would be good if

they had a better camera system. So I want

to use wide angle. You really need wide

angle. Have you seen people try and do

streams with their phones and they don't

use a wide angle and it's just like really

zoomed in on their face or something?

Like Ginny Ty, her streams look so shit.

You don't need to peel the carrot. Yeah,

why am I peeling the carrot? Because it's

got like ugly gray things on it and

weird hair coming out of it. Carrot hair.

Well, I'm not gonna eat the sprout. Are

you saying the sprout chemicals are in the

potato?

Hmm,

no, I don't have a peeler. I should get

one actually, but I'm leaving in a few

weeks, so— so my plan for Japan is

I'm thinking I arrive, I go to sleep,

and the next day we'll do a stream called
